Blanche
The smell of clean linen turned into a perfume: aldehydes, white musk and pale woods. Minimal to the point of becoming a signature.
No. 5
The founding aldehydic floral. Ylang-ylang and neroli in the opening, a heart of iris, jasmine and rose, a base of sandalwood and vanilla. A century on, still the reference.
